HistoryEdit

Goblyn had an enormous skull, claws and hooves and generally appeared her namesake. She was almost terminated as a fetus because her parents did not want to have a mutant child. It was obvious she was going to be a mutant because of her physical form. Even as a fetus her twin sister, Laura, somehow was able to save her by using her own power to open portals to send Goblyn to another dimension ("Liveworld"). At first, two never met and Laura never knowingly manifested her power to change places with Goblyn when she was extremely afraid.

Laura grew up autistic and withdrawn from the world. In an attempt to cure her autism, her parents sent her to the New Life Clinic, which was actually run by the insane villain Scramble. Laura managed to escape but was later caught by Bedlam and forced to become a member of his team of Derangers. Bedlam used Laura and Goblyn against Alpha Flight. She was the only one of his team of mind controlled super-humans to survive the final battle with him. She was soon inducted into Beta Flight, under the mistaken belief that Laura was Goblyn and that she could change form.

Finally, the two actually met each other when Alpha Flight came to Liveworld when the Dreamqueen threatened Laura. When the two escaped, Laura came completely out of her autism and the two sisters grew extremely close. When they returned to Earth, and Alpha Flight disbanded, Laura and Goblyn went to live with the Purple Girl.

They re-joined Beta Flight when Talisman dispatched them on a quest for Northstar, thanks to Laura`s ability to open portals to other dimensions. The two stayed on when the team was once again funded by the government and Department H was re-formed. However, both were severely injured when Wild Child went insane and attacked them. Laura sent Goblyn instinctively to Liveworld and had to return with Beta Flight to save her.

At some point, both Dean sisters left Department H. Goblyn's current status is unknown.
